I generally think of writing this way: it's my job. My grandfather worked in the mines in Springhill, Nova Scotia, and he didn't have the luxury of not working. That said, I'm not minimizing 'block.' Writing is so multi-faceted...but ultimately, I have to get my butt in the chair and work. Or, because I teach and have a family, I have to carve out time to write.

My mother, now 94 years old and living with me in Chicago, cannot believe the news about her town. After all, she lived there for over 30 years­—until my family moved just outside of Flint proper, where she lived another 50 years.

“It’s big news,” she says, heartbroken, telling me that even Cher has been talking about it on The View. She shakes her head, saddened by this latest disaster, still prot Read more of this blog post »

J Earl Hi, a bit out of left field but...Love that bulletin board behind you in you picture. It is a wonderful collage that could likely be made into a (perhaps strange) story. After all, Dali is there!

Anyway, I appreciate the friend addition.
